When it was announced we were rather taken in by The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes; any opportunity to revisit the engine and tweaked gameplay from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is a positive in our book.
Very much a spiritual successor to Four Swords, albeit...

Indie studio Hexagon Games has revealed that its vehicular combat title Titan Tank Rumble is headed to the Wii U eShop.
Originally called DestructoTanks, the game is a "4-player online competitive game with leaderboards, featuring lots of hectic tank mayhem and explosions". The developer has compared the title to...

Not so long ago we told you about Quadcopter Pilot Challenge, an upcoming Wii U eShop release from TACS games. Incorporating a third-person view on the TV and a first-person camera angle on the GamePad, it has a Pilotwings vibe while utilising the popular vehicles / toys as the star attraction.
For those in...

A Dragon Quest VII re-release arrived on 3DS in Japan back in early 2013, yet fans in the West have seen over two years pass with no sniff of a localised version. Square Enix suggested last year that it needs confidence in the size of the audience, yet the absence of news seemed to spur on fans in other...

Earlier this year we shared the news of Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden being announced for release in Japan - it's a fighting title in the franchise with 20 playable characters and "more than 100 support characters".
Of course, Dragon Ball Z seems to have had a big year in the West, helped along by Dragon...

In Nintendo's quirky pre-E3 Nintendo Direct Micro, it announced LBX: Little Battlers eXperience - just called Little Battlers eXperience in Europe - for the West; based on the anime series, you build and customise miniature robots to fight on your behalf. Add in local multiplayer and you have a candidate for a dark horse...

For some, the announcement of Hyrule Warriors Legends coming to the Nintendo 3DS is a great reason to relive/start the game that originated on the Wii U. However, to those needing more of an excuse, it was confirmed during Nintendo's E3 Digital Event that Hyrule Warriors Legends will come with all the DLC from the...

It's the Summer Solstice here at Nintendo Life HQ in the UK, the longest day of the year. That comes at the end of the longest week of the year following E3, at which Nintendo had a mixed showing. What the event did deliver, in addition to some controversy and a clutch of wonderful moments, was a clearer look at the...

Never Alone is a unique puzzle platformer with a rather fascinating development background. After collaborating with about forty members of a native Alaskan tribe, Upper One Games crafted a folklore inspired game about the journey of a girl and an arctic fox as they travel to find the source of an eternal blizzard. Playable in either...

It's easy, in the influx of information and internet reactions, to lose context on the number of games and releases confirmed by Nintendo in its E3 Digital Event and elsewhere. An infographic can help bring a bit of context, so Nintendo has naturally obliged.
As you can see below, the company's keen to highlight a reasonable...

Nintendo's E3 Digital Event this year was a rather mixed affair, a rollercoaster ride of high peaks and low valleys. However you may have felt about it, there's no question that it was unsurprisingly light on third party content, with Yo-kai Watch, Skylanders Superchargers, and Hyrule Warriors Legends being the only games...

Atlus has announced that Imageepoch's RPG effort Stella Glow will arrive this Holiday season in North America on 3DS.
The game revolves around the main protagonist Alto as he uses mysterious 'Song Magic' in order to save the world from an untimely end. These songs will retain their original Japanese lyrics and singers...

Creative applications are no stranger to the Nintendo 3DS, but with its built-in touchscreen and ability to export images via SD card, this should come as no surprise. Recognizing and taking advantage of the portable's potential, Collavier Corporation has already released both Comic Workshop and Painting...

Despite the week before E3 typically being a quiet one, there have been a number of developments that are well worth squeezing down into a concentrated video format.
This week focuses on Hyrule Warriors accidentally being announced for 3DS, a new weapon arriving in Splatoon extremely shortly, as well as the usual roundup of...

Having inadvertently revealed the news in early May, Atlus has now officially confirmed that it's localising 3DS RPG The Legend of Legacy to the West. It's due in the Americas in the Holiday season and will cost $39.99 / CA$49.99.
Development studio FuRyu has some hugely respected industry figures in its team,...

It may have had a relatively quiet run-up to release, but Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 is just a short time away from release on 3DS in the West, a somewhat surprising localisation effort by Koei Tecmo as a result of the second title being Japan-only.
With its arrival not far off Koei Tecmo has...

Yoshi's Woolly World isn't far away in Europe, the second Good-Feel platformer to wrap its game world in soft, cuddly fabric. We think it should definitely be on your radar if you like chilled out platforming with an optional edge of difficulty to take on.
Its Japanese release is close too, and the video below therefore...

Though Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night won't arrive until 2017, the spiritual Castlevania successor led by Koji Igarashi has become an outstanding success in crowdfunding on Kickstarter and Paypal.
In fact, combining both sources it's now raised over $4 million, unlocking an exciting stretch goal in...

Rodea the Sky Soldier - originally led by Yuji Naka - has had a troubled route to Wii U and 3DS, after its original development for the Wii got stuck in limbo. Publisher Kadokawa Games eventually completed it for release, though it's sold very few copies in Japan since launch.
Not to be deterred, NIS America is bringing it to the...

With the surprise announcement of Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice arriving on 3DS later this year, we here at Nintendo Life have found our own ways to enjoy the lightning pace gameplay attributed to the Sonic series using Splatoon's brand new Inkbrush weapon.
Check out the video below for a hot, violent injection of all the super speed you'll...
